1 DATA SHEET ANSUL JET-X High-Expansion Foam Generats Features n UL Listed and CE Marked n FM Approved models available n LNG specific models available n Water-powered so no electrical power is required n Foam capacities of up to 29,900 cfm (847 cmm) Application ANSUL JET-X High-Expansion Foam Generats are intended f use in total flooding local application high-expansion foam systems. Total flooding high-expansion foam systems are commonly used to protect the following hazards: n Flammable liquid stage areas n Hazardous waste stage areas n Ship holds n Engine rooms Local application foam systems are commonly used to protect aircraft hangars. High-expansion foam systems are also frequently used to protect LNG facilities. These systems are typically used to control the vapization rate of LNG spills reduce the intensity of LNG fires by controlling the rate of vap release. Note: High-expansion foam generats used in LNG applications typically require expansion ratios of approximately 500:1. Description ANSUL JET-X High-Expansion Foam Generats produce large volumes of foam by coating a stainless steel perfated metal screen with high-expansion foam solution and expanding it with airflow generated by a water-powered fan. When used with ANSUL JET-X 2% JET-X 2.75% High-Expansion Foam Concentrates, these generats are capable of producing finished foam with expansion ratios from 450:1 up to 987:1, depending on the model and operating pressure. Approvals and Certifications UL Listed ANSUL High-Expansion Foam Generats are UL Listed f use with either the ANSUL JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate ANSUL JET-X 2.75% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate. FM Approved The JET-X 5A, JET-X 15A, and JET-X 27 models are FM Approved f use with ANSUL JET-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate. CE Marked All models are CE Marked in confmance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Operation and Maintenance Refer to the ANSUL JET-X High-Expansion Foam Generat Operation and Maintenance Manual f detailed procedures on installation, operation, and maintenance. A printed copy of this manual is included with every generat. Foam Generat Components FOAM SCREEN WATER MOTOR BLOWER FAN Protective Coatings All generat models are painted using a Crosion Resistant Epoxy (Epoxy CR) paint system on the housings, suppts, and guard screens. Fans are painted using a powder paint system to ensure adherence and paint durability. Both paint systems have been subjected to and passed a minimum of 3,000 hours in salt spray crosion testing and are suitable f marine and offshe use. The stainless steel foam screens are not painted to avoid inhibiting foam production.
